1"""Class Domain -
22D triangular domains for finite-volume computations of
3the advection equation.
4
5This module contains a specialisation of class Domain from module domain.py
6consisting of methods specific to the advection equantion
7
8The equation is
9
10  u_t + (v_1 u)_x + (v_2 u)_y = 0
11
12There is only one conserved quantity, the level u
13
14The advection equation is a very simple specialisation of the generic
15domain and may serve as an instructive example or a test of other
16components such as visualisation.
